Copenhagen Architecture and Sustainability Tour
Dive into the World of Modern Architecture and Sustainable City Planning
Everyone who has cycled through Copenhagen once knows that this city loves to blend the New with the Old. But there is more to Copenhagen’s architecture than eye-catching design. Wherever you go, sustainable and humanistic ideas shape the way the city is planned and built – making it one of the greenest and friendliest cities in the world.
This tour will take you on a 3 hour bike ride through Copenhagen and introduce you to its architectural evolution and the principles that drive its sustainable city planning. You will be guided by our local guides who give you both an informative and personal account of the city's urban landscape.
While there is, of course, plenty to see in the inner city, this tour will take you more off the beaten tracks: Witness the remarkable revitalization of once-industrial spaces into vibrant hubs of community life as we pass Copenhagen’s harbour. Experience for yourself how Ørestad’s architecture blends modern design with sustainable living, and discover how historic sites like Kødbyen and Israels Plads have been transformed into vibrant, environmentally conscious spaces that celebrate the city's rich heritage while embracing a greener future.
Join us for an unforgettable exploration of Copenhagen's architectural landscape, and see for yourself how Copenhagen’s urban planning has inspired so many other cities around the world to follow its example.
